so far...

b'fast: fc (fullcream) milk with 1 cup muesli

snack: 2 sweet biscuits + coffee, fc milk, 1 tsp sugar

lunch: tuna & parsley sandwich

snack: 2 sweet biscuits + cofee, fc milk, 1 tsp sugar

On way home from work: small packet of 'french fries'

I am 2 biscuits and one coffee down on yesterday. So far.

Problem noted: too easy to eat biscuits at workplace. Need something healthier, at least. Need to add healthy snack foods to shopping list.

Coffee problem: will look into 'tone' milk as prescribed by another poster (thankyou) ...or brand offering similar quality of skim milk. Will try coffee with 1/2 sugar.

Yeah, my partner has one of those metabolisms that means he has to snack on crap all the time and not put on an ounce

that means I have to keep the cupboards stacked with chips, bikkies etc for him to take to work for morning and afternoon teas. I've learned to ignore them now.

pre-dinner snack: a slice of bread and some raw carrot.

dinner: medium large bowl of pasta with stir-fried vegetables. Was actually really yummy and I dont think it was too fattening. I added fresh ginger, garlic, lemon, black cracked pepper, seasalt and some handpicked aniseed leaf I found growing wildly. That made it!

I feel satisfied without feeling bloated or like a pig.

Nice.

BD: my kids like all the bad stuff too. I havent learnt to ignore it but for their sake and for mine, trying to balance it with more of the nutritious foods like fruit, nuts, bean and vegetable dips.

you sure it was aniseed? I know there's heaps of fennel growing around our place - smells like aniseed, but I've never seen aniseed growing, what does it look like?

oops....you're right...I meant fennel...
